KTM has announced its 2026 Duke naked bike lineup for the Australian and New Zealand markets, with deliveries commencing from February.
The Austrian manufacturer’s latest range features updated versions of the 990 Duke, 990 Duke R, 1390 Super Duke R and 1390 Super Duke R Evo, alongside two yet-to-be-revealed models slated for April 2026.
The middleweight 990 DUKE receives refreshed styling for 2026, maintaining its parallel-twin engine platform while introducing a new colourway.
Stepping up the performance ladder, the 990 Duke R adds an 8.8-inch touchscreen TFT display with offline map navigation, delivering 97kW and 103Nm. The R-spec model features fully adjustable WP APEX suspension with a linkage rear setup, positioning it as the most track-focused variant of the 990 platform.

The 1390 Super Duke R and R Evo continue as flagship hypernakeds, with the Evo variant adding semi-active suspension and cornering ABS to the package.
KTM has teased two additional Duke models set for an April reveal, described by product marketing manager Gareth Davidson as “the most extreme DUKE models in the history of KTM.”
“April changes everything. Two of the most extreme Duke models in the history of KTM will hit harder than ever before,” Davidson said. “Sharper. Lighter. Meaner. Power that resets expectations, precision that hunts apexes, torque that could turn the world on its own axis.”
The 2026 KTM Duke range will be available through KTM dealers across Australia and New Zealand from February 2026. Australian pricing has not yet been announced.
